So why is it that almost everyone I know is really pissed?
Some links which I suppose are linked.

minoanmiss: "Asian American lawmakers implore Republicans to tone down rhetoric in wake of attacks." I hadn't heard about this hearing, and I hadn't known it was the first in three decades to deal with racism against Asian Americans. Somehow I don't think that lacuna was because the problem was solved. "'Our community is bleeding. We've been in pain and for the past year we've been screaming out for help,' [Rep. Grace] Meng said."
2. Courtesy ofselkie: "The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make." On the disappearance and partial, hopeful revival of Dhaka muslin, a textile tradition dating back to the classical era. "It was all going so well – then the British turned up."
3. Because partisans are never not relevant: "The Nazi-Fighting Women of the Jewish Resistance." Everybody, a round of "Shtil, di nakht."
And solidarity, or it's no use to still be here.

Punching Champollion counts and is hilarious.
